Back after a long time of injury, Roger Federer did not play much this season. He attended the Qatar Exxonmobil Open Doha in March and reached the quarterfinals, then stopped in the second round of Geneva Open in his home town of Switzerland. Next, the Swiss star only hit 3 rounds at Roland Garros and decided to withdraw from the prize in the fourth round.
According to what Federer shared, he wanted to focus the maximum focus on the pitch season. This also means that the player who won 20 Grand Slam titles will try his best at Halle Open this year. To go to the championship and to have the perfect momentum for Wimbledon, he defeated Ilya Ivashka in the first round and need to overcome the next obstacle called Felix Auger -anssime.
Auger -anssime is only 20 years old and is ranked 21 in the ATP rankings. This is considered to be an easy challenge for Federer when Aliassime is making noticeable developments. Remember in the 2019 pitch season, the Canadian player had an impressive achievement when he became the runner -up of Halle Open and reached the semi -finals of Queen's Club.
Despite his age and experience that is far behind Federer, Aliassime is having a youth and desire to express himself. Therefore, this will be quite unpredictable matches in this year's Halle Open round.
